IM by Rick R Reed

A wonderful amazing mix of pure tense story telling at its
finest. A great bunch of emotions mixed inside the reader as you get through
the complete book. Rick R. Reed is great at telling a horrifying story that
last and sticks and makes the reader remember. A great page turner. You fill up
with many emotions as you read. Each character and each emotion in every
chapter has its own class that runs off the page and grabs the reader.

A book of pure written entertainment. A tense suspense
mystery of murder. Bloodshed and graphic death at the hands of a serial killer
which plays out in flawless detail. This reminds me of two classic movies
1980's Cruising and 1998's HARD, but this book also stands as a true original
work of fiction that surprisingly seems reality based and most of all spooky in
that it can happen and does happen. I believe Reed is a master writer and word
play artist in grabbing the reader and holding onto them as the story unfolds
and takes place.

The killer is a demented psycho and Reed writes him perfect.
You are woven into the story, getting the viewpoints of the victims, the
detective and the killer, giving you all sides, making it flow flawless. As you
read, you consume and understand just what is happening. This is a nightmare
induced story of electronic horror.

Currently with social networks, e-mails, instant messaging
and so on, killers are everywhere. You just don't know who is on the other end
waiting for their next victim, from a basher to a serial killer. The choice is
frightening and this book displays the horror that so many takes for granted on
just who they are talking to. Rick R. Reed can take the reader into a journey
of suspense that is so tense at times you’re like, is this real.

One victim in Chapter 6 named Milt broke my heart. I could
relate to him, felt his need for someone to love him, felt his need for someone
to care for him or to care for. The buildup of this chapter and then the
horrible actions dealt to him, took my breath away. Reed captured a moment as a
masterpiece of writing, a moment that stirred emotions inside me, I felt pain
for Milt, and as I read, I felt empty and ashamed like it was real. That is the
power of Reed's writing.

This book is thought provoking, blunt, emotional and
disturbing. Chapter 6 like the whole book was a pure read of tension and
emotional reality that lingers with the reader and showcases inside the reader
the dread and fear landscaped on the pages, Milts death really affected me,
Reed knows how to write flawless.

The overall sensual and erotic love making between Ed and
Peter is another dynamic wonder of Reed's writing, you feel the steam and the
passion flow from the words. The whole book is a countless ordeal of pure
images that the reader takes in. The descriptions of the atmosphere, to the
descriptions of the brutal murdered victims, everything about this book is
written for the reader to grasp.

I can tell you honestly one thing about this book and that
Reed knows how to write a sick, twisted, demented psychopath. The descriptions
of this serial killer’s actions, doing stuff to his victims before and after
death is a nightmarish and haunting reality. Reed creates a flawless villain to
add to the literature world.

I tell you one thing I would love to see a whole series of
Ed as a private dick (no gay pun intended) or a whole series of him as a
Detective solving crimes and going after psychos, I think it would be great. I
know I would read them.

I was getting so use to this book, sitting cuddled under a
blanket in my Queen Anne chair in front of the fireplace that I did not want it
to end. Every noise in the house I thought it was the Blond-Haired Elf to kill
me. But all good things must come to an end. This is a book I will remember.
This is a book I will read again. This is a book that I will share and promote
as being a true winner of suspense, mystery, gay serial killer horror, written
in a flawless manner that the reader will always come back to.
